An illustrated introduction to the poetry of Emily Dickinson.

Contents

  • Introduction
  • Summer... it's all I have to bring today
  • In the name of the Bee
  • I'm nobody! Who are you?
  • A bird came down the walk
  • They dropped like Flakes
  • "Answer, July!"
  • A narrow fellow in the grass
  • Exhilaration is in the breeze
  • To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee
  • A soft sea washed around the house
  • From all the jails the boys and girls
  • Autumn.... The gentian weaves her fringes
  • Faith is a fine invention
  • Blazing in gold and quenching in purple
  • I never saw a moor
  • He fumbles at your spirit
  • Because I could not stop for death
  • The cricket sang
  • Winter... Safe in their alabaster chambers
  • It sifts from leaden sieves
  • This is my letter to the world
  • The spider holds a silver ball
  • There's a certain slant of light
  • The going from a world we know
  • Like brooms of steel
  • I went to heaven
  • Spring... New feet within my garden go
  • Bee, I'm expecting you!
  • Hope is the thing with feathers
  • Will there really be a morning?
  • A word is dead
  • I send two Sunsets
  • The wind begun to rock the grass
  • A curious cloud surprised the sky
  • There is no frigate like a book
  • What Emily was thinking.
